Learning to use LaTeX


What is LaTeX?

	The LaTeX project webpage: where to get general informations.
	Before you start. Programs that you need to download:
		Miktex: this is the source code. Make sure to download the complete version!
		Ghostscript and ghostviewer: to handle postscript files.
		WinEdt: a great editor. This is the program that you will use to write your LaTeX files.
	Sample files. Here are some papers that I wrote using LaTeX.
		`Risks for the long run and the real exchange rate' [Risks.zip]
		`Six puzzles looking for a model' [SixPuzzles.zip]


Slides that will get you a job (maybe)!

	What is prosper? An outline.
	Fancy stuff: screenshots.
	You can read the documentation here, but I suggest to look directly at some examples.
	Sample files. Here are the slides of some talks that I gave in the past.
		`Risks for the long run and the real exchange rate' [RisksSlides.zip]
		`Benefits of US Monetary policy experimentation' [CCSSlides.zip]
	The next generation of slides: HA-Prosper.
	Sample files. Here is a talk that I gave in March 2006.
		`Risks for the long run and the real exchange rate' [RisksSlidesHA.zip]


Writing your thesis in LaTeX.

	Before you start: what is PDF-LaTeX? Some useful documentation (courtesy of Nicola Talbot).
	Transform .eps into .pdf files: download eps2pdf. If this doesn't work click here.
	A great UC-Berkeley link that explains how to write a neat thesis in LaTeX. Lots of examples!
	And here's my thesis: this stuff really works!
	If you're going on the market, you may also want a decent resume.
